Entry into heaven sooner or later regardless of the date and time, makes no difference because it is given to all who do the will of God. This gospel fills us with an inspiring image of a generous, gracious and forgiving God whose love for us has no bounds. His mercy extends both to those who have laboured all their lives in their service and to those who have broken faith but turn to Him in their dying hour. Before Him, we all stand like beggars and can never boast that we have earned our salvation. Everything we have is a free gift of His love and mercy. We cannot explain his generosity but certainly God's ways are not our ways.

Stay healthy and safe.
